Fri Dec 20 04:24:07 UTC 2024: ## Pushpa 2’s Box Office Reign Continues, Nears ₹1000 Crore Mark

**MUMBAI, INDIA** – Allu Arjun’s *Pushpa: The Rule*, the highly anticipated sequel to the 2021 blockbuster, continues its impressive box office run. After fifteen days in theaters, the action drama has raked in nearly ₹990 crore (nett) at the Indian box office, according to trade website Sacnilk. While the film saw a dip in earnings on Thursday, December 19th, grossing approximately ₹18 crore, it remains on track to surpass the ₹1000 crore mark.

Directed by Sukumar, *Pushpa 2* stars Allu Arjun as a sandalwood smuggler reigniting his conflict with a ruthless police officer, played by Fahadh Faasil. The film also features Rashmika Mandanna, Sritej, Rao Ramesh, and Sunil, with music by Devi Sri Prasad. Despite its overall success, some critics have noted underutilization of Faasil’s character.

The film’s dominance may face challenges in the coming days. New releases *UI* in Karnataka and *Marco* in Kerala are anticipated to impact its performance in those regions where *Pushpa 2* has seen comparatively weaker numbers. However, the film is expected to enjoy a clear run in the Hindi market until the release of *Baby John* on December 25th.

The continued success of *Pushpa 2* solidifies its position as one of the biggest box office hits of the year.
